Zilker Metropolitan Park - Austin’s Recreational Epicenter
A respected hospitality executive, Bharat Lall has overseen numerous hotel acquisitions over the past two decades, with an emphasis on underperforming properties with upside potential. As head of Pinnacle Hotels USA, Bharat Lall owns and operates a number of Texas hotels, including Hyatt Regency North Dallas and DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Austin. The latter hotel offers comfortable stays in a historic part of Texas’ vibrant capital, which is rich in restaurants, art galleries, music clubs, and parks. One of the area’s most popular recreational destinations is the 351-acre Zilker Metropolitan Park, home to the Taniguchi Oriental Garden and the Zilker Hillside Theatre, which hosts musical performances in a range of genres. It is also the outdoor setting of Shakespeare in the Park and the annual Zilker Summer Musical. Sports enthusiasts can take advantage of volleyball courts and an extensive disc golf course, as well as boating and rowing opportunities. The spring-fed Barton Springs Pool is perfect for swimming and offers a comfortable year-round temperature of nearly 70 degrees. Each year, the Zilker Park Kite Festival draws kite enthusiasts of all ages, while Blues on the Green brings the sounds of one of America’s distinctive musical styles to Austin. The park brightens up the city skyline during the holidays, with the trail of lights leading to the 155-foot-tall Zilker Holiday Tree, which has more than 3,000 multicolored lights running from it.
